Well there does seem to be a common thread (bada bing bada boom) to my iBook troubles - the iBook gets in trouble whenever there are operations involving the optical drive.
It crashes when iTunes rips audio from a CD. It crashes (hard and soft) sporadically when playing a DVD. And last night, the whole machine powered down whilst burning a CD. However, if it's not using the optical drive, it's fine.
I called up my Apple store, and they've told me to bring the machine back in the New Year for them to have a look at.
So far my first Mac experience hasn't gone as smoothly as I'd hoped, but the first taste of what's possible (especially with the ease that it detected and was able to start using all my external peripherals) has definitely got me hooked!
